The state budget affects your daily life, from the roads you drive on to the schools your children attend. That's why I'm excited to hear @governor.pa.gov's commitment to invest in our public schools, strengthen our infrastructure, and make Pennsylvania more affordable for working families.

Today, the State House Judiciary committee unanimously passed the bill Rep. Markosek and I crafted expanding accountability for pet owners who choose to cremate their beloved pets. This is a major step as we work to protect pet owners from experiencing the type of tragedy we've seen in our region.

Like many of my neighbors, I was shocked by allegations last year that over 6,500 pet owners were deceived when they entrusted their beloved pet to be cremated. That's why I introduced legislation to close gaps in Pennsylvania law that left pets and pet owners without protection.

Despite PA’s long history as an energy-producing state, energy prices are out of control and many of our neighbors are forced to make hard choices about what they can afford. I’m introducing legislation to create the regulations needed to develop next-generation geothermal energy here in PA.

For too many Pennsylvanians, it has become just too expensive to grow their families the way they want. That's why I'm introducing legislation with @pasenatorcappelletti.com to provide paid parental leave for every family and ensure that no one has to choose between a paycheck and caring for family.
